A 53-year-old man from Garmisch-Partenkirchen had a fatal accident on a ski tour on Sunday.

It is still unclear how the accident happened.

Reutte in Tirol

– A 53-year-old from Garmisch-Partenkirch died in a ski touring accident at the Austrian Steinkarspitze at the weekend.

This is reported by the State Police Directorate of Tyrol.

The man left on Sunday morning and never returned.

His father therefore sounded the alarm in the evening.

Due to the bad weather, it was not possible to use the helicopter.

Therefore, the members of the Berwang and Namlos mountain rescue teams had to climb up on foot.

The missing person was found dead shortly after midnight in the summit area of ​​the Steinkarspitze (2215 meters) near Reutte.

The exact reason is unclear.

The mountain guides of the Alpine Task Force of the Police Headquarters Oberbayern Süd warn of the dangers that the winter conditions in the mountains bring with them.

While most of the paths on the south side are already free of snow, snow and ice are still sticking, especially on the shady sides.

It's easy to slip off or slip there, according to a press release.

There have already been 16 fatal mountain accidents this year.
